Overview

Phillip Island in a group of 10: koala reserve, Penguin Parade, The Nobbies & a 4.9km Cape Woolamai hike. Free Snacks, drinks, instant photo

This Phillip Island day tour is designed for travelers who want to move, explore, and connect with nature, not just be driven between attractions. With a maximum of 11 guests, the experience combines coastal hiking, ethical wildlife encounters, and iconic evening penguin viewing — all with transparent, all-inclusive pricing.

Everything listed is included in the price. There are no hidden fees, no upgrades, and no surprise costs during the day.

A day shaped by nature and movement

Leaving Melbourne, the journey heads toward Phillip Island with relaxed pacing and local commentary focused on wildlife, coastal landscapes, and conservation rather than scripted facts.

Koalas in the wild

Koala Conservation Reserve
Begin with a peaceful walk through eucalyptus woodland on elevated boardwalks, where koalas can be seen resting, feeding, and moving freely in their natural habitat.
Your entry ticket is included, and the experience prioritizes quiet observation and animal welfare.

Free time for lunch in Cowes

Stop in Cowes, Phillip Island’s main township, with time to choose your own lunch.
Lunch is not included by design, allowing flexibility for different dietary needs, preferences, and cultural beliefs. Cafes, bakeries, and takeaway options are available.

Cape Woolamai coastal hike (4.9 km)

This is what makes the tour truly different.

Enjoy a 4.9 km coastal hike at Cape Woolamai, following clifftop trails with sweeping ocean views, rugged rock formations, and abundant birdlife. The hike is paced for enjoyment rather than speed, with time for photos, rest, and appreciation of the landscape.

This active element transforms the day from a sightseeing tour into a genuine coastal adventure.

The Nobbies coastal boardwalk

Continue to The Nobbies, where boardwalks stretch above crashing waves and rocky headlands. Learn about local marine life, seabirds, and the powerful Southern Ocean that shapes this coastline.

Penguin Parade at sunset

End the day with the world-famous Phillip Island Penguin Parade.
Watch little penguins emerge from the ocean and waddle back to their burrows at sunset. Your entry ticket is included, and the experience follows strict guidelines to ensure penguin protection and minimal disturbance.

Honest, all-inclusive experience

There are no extra costs during the tour. Complimentary snacks, free drinks, and a printed instant photo are included as personal touches.
